I have reported about the following problem on Feb 05th, but no one
had a solution. For me, it looks like that this is not my bad
configuration, but an unintended behavior of mutt (=> BUG). Am I
correct or not?

Problem:

Intended is a BCC to 'my@address\.de' on all mails except on mails that
are sent to 'my@address\.de' in the TO field.

The bcc header is set correctly (no matter if an alias or typed in), but
is only valid for all following mails and NOT the one I am composing
at that moment. So, I have a delayed reaction of one mail composition.

I have attached a reduced muttrc, mail_alias and a version file.

The most important part is this:
send-hook '~t my@address\.de' 'unmy_hdr bcc'
send-hook '!~t my@address\.de' 'my_hdr Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'

On starting mutt, use 'm' and try the following addresses in the 'To:'
question (subject does not matter, abort mail in composer editor):
 Setting:          Result:
 my                no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]     bcc
 my                no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]     bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    bcc

 However, it should be like this:
 my                no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]     no bcc
 my                no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]     no bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    bcc
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]    bcc
